Quirky Ceramic Characters are Pencil Drawings Come to Life

Illus­tra­tor Mile­na (Milo) Hachim has a pen­chant for quirky char­ac­ter design that is best expressed in three-dimen­sion­al forms. Her fig­ures are read­ers, dream­ers, and bas­ket­ball play­ers. Each piece has the delight­ful wonk­i­ness that comes from being craft­ed by hand. Milo leans even more into this aes­thet­ic by using a sur­face tech­nique that’s akin to a pen­cil draw­ing. The results are playful—just like what her ceram­ic char­ac­ters are doing and wearing.

I’m an avid col­lec­tor of ceram­ics, so I am eager­ly await­ing the moment when she sells them online. In the mean­time, I’ll con­tin­ue to mar­vel at them on her Insta­gram.
